I don’t know enough about the geography of Washington state so I’m all for it.
I always end up listening to the Dead's Europe '72 after hearing him call a game.I know he’s polarizing but I love that dude!
idk about this right here. If it wasn't Bill friggin Walton, one of best and most interesting to EVER do it, his shtick wouldn't work. Plus he's so positive and uplifting in general. I'll take him 100 times over Donny. When he compliments our offense, that's one step from Wooden, from the key change agent of the 86 Celtics. I'm willing to learn more about rivers to have Bill do a gameHis compliments of Uconn is not enough compensation for the headache of listening to everything else he says.

Hey, there's one for everybody out there....Cornell 77
He doesn’t talk about Dead shows. Much deeper stuffPretty sure I heard Bilas say he was doing the Gonzaga game which means no Walton, thank goodness. Best announced game I heard was our game a few years ago when Lappas and another announcer did the game as if they were coaching. I want to hear announcers talk about basketball not Grateful Dead concerts.
This makes it easier to like him. I think he’d be happy to see his friends Clingan and Karaban again, so much that he may even talk about them for a few minutes before devolving into bridge talk.Love him or hate him, he had a lot of good things to say about UConn in the PKI tournament last year. Don't mind him at all.
How else would you know the rivers in Portland run north. Remember, he was the first to say UConn was the best team in the country last year. He also is not bias like dick vitale. I think they are still trying to extract his head from coach K’s buttmute for me
don't want to hear about hiking and sunsets and hallucinating and "the conference of (volleyball) champions"
Looking ahead, we are the only real game being played Friday, on ESPN 2; NBA is on ESPN. So if anyone is calling the game, it’ll probably be Bilas and co.I watched the replay of the Carolina game yesterday and I swear Bilas said he couldn't wait to call our game with the Zags. They wouldn't team him with Walton.
